Q.
|
Is Furadan 4F really more convenient than granular insecticides?
|
A.
|
Absolutely.
Switching to a liquid formulation provides many advantages:
• No more granular hassles, like lugging 50-pound bags, calibrating and
recalibrating insecticide boxes and exposure to granular insecticide
dust.
• Greater application accuracy.
• Furadan 4F is compatible with most post herbicides, for one-pass
insect and weed control.
• Specially designed closed-system returnable U-Turn® containers
substantially reduce the potential of exposure during mixing and
loading. • Plus, there's no on-site storage of insecticide or container
disposal.
• No antagonistic or phyto problems with herbicides. |

| Q. |
Are there other advantages to a Post Plant corn insecticide?
|
| A. |
Yes,
Furadan 4F is applied when corn rootworms are starting to hatch. Unlike
granulars, which have been in the ground for as long as eight weeks,
Furadan 4F hasn't had time to degrade and lose its effectiveness.
Plus, since you don't have to worry about putting down an insecticide
at planting, you can plant more acres in a day. |
| |
| Q. |
Is it really as effective as my granular insecticide?
|
| A. |
University
trials have demonstrated that Furadan 4F provides corn rootworm control
equal to or better than granular insecticides applied at planting. The
root rating of corn fields treated with Furadan 4F are consistently
below three.
What's more, Furadan 4F Post Plant insecticide-nematicide provides
excellent crop safety for your corn. |

| Q. |
Does Furadan 4F cause any problems with Accent or Beacon?
|
| A. |
No. It can be applied with any herbicide. |
| |
| Q. |
What is Post Plant Application?
